Marketers spent $ 479 million on advertising podcasts last year and are projected to spend over $ 1 billion by 2021.

Lauren Fisher, chief analyst at eMarketer, talks about the growth of podcasts and the value they present to listeners:

“Podcasts are one of the fastest growing, if not the fastest growing category in digital audio.

Marketers and brands are aware of the value of reaching consumers who are set up to actively entertain or engage their minds. ”
